[dm-devel] [PATCH linux-next v2] DM RAID: validate_raid_redundancy: Silence uninitialized variable warning

[Tommi Rantala]

> drivers/md/dm-raid.c:453:53: warning: 'rebuilds_per_group' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]
> drivers/md/dm-raid.c:383:11: note: 'rebuilds_per_group' was declared here
